3rd Law Cartoon

For this square on the Think-Tac-Toe you will create a series of cartoons that help to explain Newton's Third Law. In these cartoons be sure to include at least three examples of Newton's Third Law in action and show the action/reaction vectors. Use the rubric below to guide you in your planning. Good Luck!
